Yes, I am. There is a world. Okay. Just because she didn't do like a brat style tortured poets department style like situation. I don't I don't think she needs to be conventional. Dua Lipa's radical optimism. Like, OK, first. Sorry. Sorry.
What? When you think Dua Lipa. Right. What do you think of?
Okay. Always on vacation. Instagram. Great food. Service 95. Right. Radical optimism is all about the way you can go through just something so heartbreaking and horrible. And then I'm just going to like live my life and be so optimistic about it. Like I'm happy for you. You know, it's, it's the end of an era. I think she was like, it's just, it's great.
That's fair.
Just be hot.
And look, I don't think you're wrong. I think a lot of people have this take, right? She didn't do anything traditional in the sense of world building, but she did it her way.
And I think if we didn't have this almost like model that exists where you must create a world where you must have strong visuals, like for the purpose of this thesis, I think Dua Lipa is the perfect example of someone who did it wrong. Right. Okay. I think she did not build a strong visual identity around it because
I will argue that there is some information that the podcast cannot know that prevents people from seeing the real world that was built.
is in that spectrum i think if you look at dua as a person right okay positive loves to enjoy nice things loves to read really values her intelligence and being well spoken and health and these are clear motifs that you see in her in her lifestyle right if her instagram was like a content strategy you you know who she is and what she likes and i think if you look at you know self-titled and future nostalgia they were really strong
visually i think she went like in on future nostalgia she couldn't go as in on radical optimism but i do think her lifestyle if we're just using social right really did reflect what she's trying to convey is like you're not gonna see me like hold up writing this album in a mountain because i'm sad over my breakup it's like i'm gonna go experience the world and show my taste through my newsletter and i have all these like multi-faceted things about me and i'm not gonna do
the standard like little show pony things that everyone expects me to do. I'm going to do a really awesome show at the Royal Albert hall. And I'm going to like launch little activations with, with my, my fans. Right.
Um, I do think that there were a lot of other lovers that she could have done. Like, I think one idea I had when I was really disappointed about the marketing initially was like, this red hair was such a moment for this album.
Why wasn't there a London club? Right.
Yeah.
I think that's why people were confused. Like why red hair, blue album, you know?
Yeah, it's not connecting. But it's not for everyone.
Yeah. And if you weren't already in those existing worlds, it required you to do research.
And it in turn made all those people even more famous. Yeah.
I mean, like I'm on our creative director's Instagram right now. And like, it's just like this, this feed, man. Like she did such great work.
I think it's fresh. I think it's unique. I think she's really someone who has taken a lot of time to sit and be with herself and be quite introspective. It's a cancer thing.
